Am only at power 43 now and i can see why the reviews have been so bad. I've played 2 other AC games before this and this one is probably the weirdest one for me.
Graphically amazing and some aspects of the game is better than previous, but the worst things are side quests & even some parts of the main quests are not marked nor given any instructions. U are supposed to figure them out on your own through the dialogues. And this alone drags the whole game down tremendously. It becomes a very blurred, in between the lines kinda game where things aren't obvious.
Battles can also be very confusing as u can lose track of your player. There's no HUD or indicator above your player. And sometimes u need to get past the enemies for a specific task but there's no clear and obvious instruction and u end up just getting caught in the melee.
Its like Ubisoft is trying to make it as realistic as possible removing all the usual help and guides in games that everyone expects, but failing terribly at it.
And skill tree is wayy too complicated. Definitely prefer older versions of the skill trees
